K-TRE 120

Reviewer's Play Style: Metal

I own this amp and feel it is the best metal amp I've played. The cleans are Fender like and the best I've heard from a high gainer. The gain channel is brutal. It has enough gain for any style of metal. I can play brutal death metal with the gain on 6. It is very loud but also sounds great at bedroom volume by using the effects loop levels as a master volume. I like to use a tube screamer as a clean boost to tighten it up. This amp also seems to have really high build quality compared to my Krank Chadwick

This head is a beast

Ok if you want the best of both having a killer clean and one of the best gain channels on the planet this is your amp. I played Mostly Heavy Metal and let me tell you once I played this amp before buying it I sold my Mesa Boogie Road King series 1 serial #646 and this crushed it at any style of music you threw at it. Also remember this amp is very picky about the speakers you use. I use JBL E 120'S in a 2x12 cabinet. And I will put my 2x12 rig against any full stack and it is that loud with the JBL'S that are 300 watts a piece. I use to ESP LTD'S with EMG'S and they match up perfectly with this amp. So do your self a favor and be different a crush most other amplifiers at double the price; that is how good this amp sounds.

Rivera K-TRE review

If you want the high gain brutality of a 6505 only less fizz and more definition this is your amp. The cleans are among the best ever from a high gain amp. It sounds great even at lower volumes when I set the send and return on the loop to about 4.5 or so. It's built in boost is not even needed but I clean boost the front of mine with a ts-9 and I'm in metal heaven.

The amp that can cover any Tone

My K Tre was built in late 2006 with the Rare Kevelar Tolex that only endorsed artist can buy from Rivera directly. And let me tell you this amp kick some Major a** and is the best sounding Amp I have ever owned and played through and also has the most amazing clean channel on a high gain amp I have ever heard. So if you are looking for a very versatile high gain amp look no further because you will find everything you need in the K Tre. FYI this amp can produce any Tone you want it to.

A very good head for the money. A clean channel to die for with more than enough gain on tap for any ones liking. Very articulate with phenomenol touch dynamics. This one you have to try to believe.
